+1 for me.
Even in germany on these roads there are no additional rights-of-way in 
comparison to "normal" cycleways (except that bicycles get the 
officially allowance to drive next to each other and not just inline. 
buts that's piece of cake ;) ). A normal cycleway with 
motorcar/agricultural/...=yes/destination/... would be exactly the same.
